The thread of theyarn 50 'is carried through jthe mouth 41 of the counterweight 42 on theouter end` of the arm andl thence through the looped guide 18. As theyarn is yiindertension the arm 40 is sustained and the iioating collar38V is depressed with the result that the bolts vv37 are' engaged inrecesses in the floating ring collar 48 is a spline key fixed inthesleeve 23 and Working freely in the longitudinal slot 52 inthe leadscrew mast. y44 is a spring claw fiXedvto lthe end of the bracket 14 andengaging thethreads on the screwmast21.

K u The operation is as follows VThe lead of" arnfrom askein or cop or jack bobbin being laid-through the mouth' 41 of .thecounterweight 42 and thence through tlie'curl of theguide 18 islaid ontothe lower part of the bobbin 10 in the usual Way forstarting up.r Atthis position the klead screw mast 2l is at-.bottom position, the claw44 having beenreleased 'manually by pressing theV linger piece 45.y vAsthe rail A12fcairying With fit the lbracket 14,."performs a verticaloscillatingv movement the tappet 32 at bottom stroke contacts' with' the'striker plate 34 on the table 54; at eachcontact the feather pins 27,running up'V the helical sleeve 2 6. In the liftinginovement rotationof'the sleeve '26 is reversed.V During the positive movement of thesleeve26, the

' detent`teetli'35 are engaged with the detentteethon the floating ring36Whicli is locked bythe slide bolts 37 to the sleeve 23. As owing tothe tension on the yarn theA counterweight lever40 is lifted, the'collar38 carrying `tliebolts 37 .is pushed downward; the result is thatpartialrotation is applied to the sleeve 23, and by means of the splinef key V48 this partialrotation is applied to the lead, screw mast 21.LAs the claw 44 is eIli gaged withithethreads ofthe mast 12111311@bearing' supporting the tative movement has the effect of causing themast 'tofclimb to a pre-determined,'distance, which is proportionedtothe speed of rotationoi` the spindle 11, so that the necessary atbottomzthrow; thetop. end ofy the sleeve close lay ofV theyarn on theYloolobin` is obtained. In the upward movement of the angleeiron rail 12the tappet arm 29 drops, and in the reverse movement of the sleeve 2Gthen produced, the detent teeth 35 ride freely over the mating detentteeth on the floating ring 36,. `sufficient'clearanceloeing allowedforthis purpose.'V Stepfby-step upward climb of the mast continuesl atevery oscillation of the rail 12. Thebinding lay for securing the closelaid lay is run' on during :the downward vmovement of the looped guide18 and the angle-iron 'rail movement. 1f the yarn should break, theweight'42 being no, longer sustained byv its tension, drops to thepositionshowninrFig. 3, and in dropping lifts ,thev collar 38, and thebolts 37 beingthus freed, the sleeve 23 is disengaged 36 and climbingmovement is nolonger applied to the mast 21 and the loopedguide 18 Yremains in the position which it occupied at foreliecting a traverse ofthe yarn including an angle-iron ra.ila bracketv thereon, a guide poston said' bracket, a non-rotatable farmjslidable onthe guide post, a'looped vguide mounted on said arm, a vertically disposedrotatablescrewed mast suspended fro-iii the Vnon-rotated arm anddisposed throughthe outer end of the bracket on the angle-iron rail, acollar mounted in said bracketan'd spliiied to the mast, a retractable'claw' liXed on said bracket'engageable Vwith the lmast, ailielicallyslotted' sleeve clutched to saidco-llar V'anda tapped arm hung on saidbracket coacting YWith the Vhelically slotted sleeve to effect partialrotation of the collar once in eachV oscillation lof the angle-ironrail.
